Short sighted

We are competing against those SEC teams right now for those same recruits. And trying to with half the revenue we would get as an SEC team. And there's the red-headed stepchild stigma when a top player considers an ACC vs an SEC team. Also, Tech can compete in the SEC with continued emphasis and momentum. We can be a very string brand again. You don't have to win it. Just finish fourth or maybe fifth and you're in with a 12 team playoff. But if you want to hang your hat on the ACC going forward....

We would be stupid not to take an SEC offer. The real question is

Dead set against such a move for dozens of reasons

The academic argument is academic imo...

Frankly we would also fit in academically in the SEC

Yes, based on $$$ only. Not necessarily happier to be "in SEC", but happier
Scream_On_D • 06/12/24 07:13 PM ET
For me it would bring happiness
Hokie12thman • 06/12/24 04:07 PM ET
Glad you would like to go 6-6 as we would rarely win that many games in
uber hokie • 06/12/24 07:01 PM ET
6-6 in the SEC equates to 7-5 in the B1X and probably 8-4 in the ACC.

I see this sentiment a lot, but I'm not convinced this would be the reality

I would much rather see VT go 6-6 or 7-5 than 12-1 or 11-2 and end up
